Hey there. Denver council made another little step in its discussion about affordable housing last night: We’re seeing pretty explicit support for the city to come up with another $150 million for housing. We’ve also got a ton of other growth news, some interesting reads on transportation and one of Allan’s first longer pieces for Denverite.

“The point is that change doesn’t necessarily mean private development. Change can mean a lot of different things,” said planning spokeswoman Andrea Burns. “We’re looking at ways to suss out the kind of change that a neighborhood needs in all different ways — not just whether it promotes or inhibits development.”

Hey there. Today’s news roundup includes some answers to the city’s big questions: Where are all of Denver’s families going? Are they serious about that 81-story tower? What did Russia do here? And so on.
